Amber Hanley told the Associated Press that her meeting with Ben Roethlisberger was not a pleasant one.
Amber Hanley, a 21-year-old college student, said she and a few friends were also in the VIP area with Roethlisberger. She said she asked the quarterback to take a photo with her friend, whose boyfriend was a fan, but he seemed disappointed that's all she wanted. Hanley said she rolled her eyes, and Roethlisberger called her an expletive and walked away. Later, Roethlisberger was aggressively hitting on another girl, Hanley said.
It should be noted that others at the bar said that Roethlisberger was friendly and well-behaved at the Georgia bar.
Amber Hanley was one of several women who requested to have their photo taken with Roethlisberger. TMZ is suggesting that one of the women who asked for a photo might be Ben Roethlisberger's accuser. Ben Roethlisberger reportedly had his arm around his accuser before the alleged assault.
Meanwhile, Deadspin has published photos showing the Steelers quarterback in a Georgia bar talking to a blonde woman that may be Ben Roethlisberger accuser.
The Deadspin story also has some rumored info about the Ben Roethlisberger Accuser:
According to the GCSU rumor mill, Roethlisberger's accuser is a member of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. Justin says he doesn't think the girl in his picture is the Zeta in question, though he is "not familiar with too many Zetas."
The story goes on to say that several Zeta Tau Alpha sorority members put their Facebook profiles behind privacy walls after the story hit, perhaps to protect the identity of the Ben Roethlisberger accuser.

I am a huge fan of Ben Roethlisberger but damn this was stupid! If you are already in an ongoing investigation involving sexual misconduct how can you allow yourself to be put in a situation like this? You are a $100 million dollar NFL quarterback and should start behaving like one! You are not a 20 year old frat boy in college. You have a huge responsibility and obligation in representing one of the classiest orginazations in proffesional sports! You are acting like a Dallas Cowboy and if you are charged with this crime you should get what you deserve for being irresponsible! I hope that this is the last offseason Pittsburgh Steeler fans have to deal with your stupidity!!

I am a Steeler and have lived in the burgh all my life. I have NEVER heard a good word about Ben off the field. The charity events he goes to he demands to get paid, he acts like a diva and makes a very bad impression. He was actually asked to NOT come back to Hookstown High School after he turfed their brand new field because he could not get his car out after a charity basketball game. I have daughters in their 20's and they see him all season in the bars-he acts like a real jerk (Hines Ward also is a womaizer- he even keeps an apartment for his trysts) ...and yes I personnaly know girls that have been there- he is just smarter about it. Ben needs to go- but not to another team- to jail. he is a rapist- where there is smoke there is fire-and there is a lot of smoke
